Nepal to reopen Everest to climbers despite COVID-19 case rise

KATHMANDU: Nepal will reopen its Himalayan mountains including Mount Everest to climbers for the autumn season, officials said on Thursday (Jul 30), to boost the tourism-dependent economy despite rising coronavirus infections.

Home to eight of the worlds 14 tallest mountains, Nepal shut down climbing and trekking in March to stem the novel coronavirus, which has so far infected 19,547 people and caused 52 deaths in the country of 30 million.

"We have reopened mountaineering and will issue climbing permits for the autumn season," tourism department official Mira Acharya said, adding that climbers must follow health protocols issued by the government. The autumn climbing season in Nepal runs from September to November.

While infections in many Western nations are falling, South Asian countries including Nepal are still witnessing a steady rise in the caseload.

The absence of climbing in the popular April-May season caused Nepal millions of dollars in losses. Hundreds of foreign travellers and some 200,000 sherpas, guides and porters were hit.

Nepal on Thursday also allowed the reopening of hotels and restaurants with some restrictions. No coRead More – Source
